Undergraduate Mentorship Program
The LEAD (Learning by Example, Attaining Distinction) Mentorship Program pairs undergraduate business students with professionals in a similar field and/or career trajectory. Each mentor/protégé pair is encouraged to meet once per month throughout the school year, and attend a speed-networking kickoff event and year-end celebration. Protégés gain guidance and support from someone in their industry of choice, build connections with professionals in the community, and clarify their own goals and potential future career path. Mentors provide professional advice to a student interested in their industry, attract talent to their company to build their brand on campus, and foster connections with future professionals of their community.
Contacts for the LEAD Mentorship Program:
Hospitality majors: Stephanie Van Cleve and Janeen Todd
Undergraduate Etiquette Dinners
These events help students understand how to navigate a professional business meal. The keynote speaker will address appropriate dinner etiquette from proper table manners and professional attire to the do’s and don’ts of ‘small talk’ during a meal.
Other Volunteer Opportunities
Alumni participation opportunities become available at a moment’s notice. Examples include speed networking nights, mock interviews and résumé workshops. If you would like to be included as an alumni volunteer and resource for on-campus activities, please contact Cody Sherrod.
